6. Be Prepared for Backlash

There were obviously reasons why you broke up in the first place. If it was because of infidelity or emotional abuse, there is a good chance your friends and family know every detail and were the ones who helped you through the first few days and weeks of the break up. If you suddenly come out and say you are giving things another go, be prepared for some backlash.

Your friends and family will have their opinions, and while there is a strong chance they will urge you not to get back with your ex, understand they are doing this from a place of love. They care for you and don’t want you getting hurt. They don’t have to like the idea, or your ex for that matter, but if they love and care for you they will respect your decision to give things another go.

You have to be prepared to lose some friends if you get back with your ex. Some people will not have it and that could mean the end of long-standing friendships. This is why you have to be 100% that you want your ex back. You are risking a lot more than just your relationship with them.

7. Learn To Forgive

You can’t expect to make things work if you haven’t fully forgiven each other for your past mistakes. No matter the reasons why your relationship ended last time, if you have both not forgiven each other then you might as well give up now. Forgiveness isn’t always easy, so be sure to talk about your feelings and elaborate on your concerns about getting back together. Not only do you need to forgive your partner, but also yourself.

When you fully understand how you contributed to the downfall of the relationship and the reasons why things didn’t pan out the way you intended, you can fully understand each other, making it much easier for you to look at your mistakes and make peace with yourself.
